She was the ancient guardian of the Shen family tomb. One day, she fell into the tomb and collided with a burning gaze from a thousand years in the future.
He was the heir apparent of the capital’s elite, wielding power for twenty years just to protect the life lamps of the Shen family’s twin daughters.
“Miss Shen, the Gu family has waited eighteen generations for you.”
When Shen Qingtang woke up in the emergency room, she discovered that the blood on her sister’s wrist resonated with a bronze box from the ancient tomb. Meanwhile, the cold, dignified man had already arrived outside with twenty chests of betrothal gifts...
Gu Chengyuan, heir to the Gu family, seeks the hand of Shen Qingtang, the Shen family’s legitimate daughter.
“I offer the token of the Gu family matriarch as proof. I will never leave you, and I will remain faithful to you until death.”
“What if Ah Qing never regains her clarity for the rest of her life?” Shen’s mother asked.
“Even if Ah Qing remains this way for the rest of her life, my resolve will not change. I will honor her as the matriarch of the Gu family and care for her all her life.” Gu Chengyuan’s gaze was firm.
Even so, the Shen couple hesitated.
In the hospital room, Shen’s mother knew she was close to death... “Bring me the marriage contract. Quickly.” With difficulty, she pressed her bloodstained thumb onto the document. Then she took her younger daughter’s hand, stained her finger with the blood seeping from her own wound, and pressed it to the name Shen Qingtang.
She struggled to draw her final breath, her eyes fixed on the ceiling, hoping Gu Chengyuan would keep his word.
